Alpha-Synuclein and It's DIRECT Link To Parkinson's Disease

#parkinson #parkinsonsawareness #parkinsonsdisease #parkinsons #neuroscience #cellbiology #education In this video I do my best to break down and to simplify the cellular processes that result in abnormal aggregation of the protein alpha-synuclein in the nerve cells that produce #dopamine and how this leads to most-of, if not all of the problems cause by PD. In this video I reference this paper regarding the endo-lysosomal (E-L) pathway in cells, genetic links to PD, and how alpha-synuclein aggregates and what issues this causes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... Please please consider reading this amazing book by Dr. Christopher Palmer, MD on the role of mitochondria in neurological diseases like PD!
